Is there any information on these filters about whether they are chlorine- and dioxin-free?
2335
Having no information as to your question, I took the liberty of calling the Bunn- O- Matic Corporation an am pleased to notify you they are free of chlorine and no detectable measure of Dioxin. EPA also requires regular constant checking to insure the standards have been met. Hope this helps. P.R.

I cannot answer the question as I do not know. We have been using some brown natural unbleached filter paper that is the same shape but not as tall. Walmart and some other stores do carry the brown unbleached ones. I hope this helps.
2337
to quote "Quality Filters for Perfect Coffee Taste". Perhaps you should contact the mfr for their manufacturing process.

I just got off the phone with BUN. I was told what someone else has also posted. The bleach method is chlorine free-wouldn't say more specific than that-and they are regularly testing to verify there is no detectable level of dioxin in the paper stock.

I am sorry I have no idea but if you call BUNN they will happily answer as their service is top shelf. :)

Hello, Encarna. After a thorough review of the box on all sides, there is no reference to toxicity. They are taller so that there is no overflow of grinds, and since Bunn is concerned about the taste of the coffee, it is not likely there is a residue large enough to perceive. I have used Bunn, the inventers of the commercial filter, for multiple decades, and have never experienced a detectable toxin from the use of these filters. Perhaps your further investigation, via the internet, might reveal something, but I doubt it. I do understand your caution if you have an allergy to said toxins. Your friend Jeff Hello, Encarna.

I don't know if that information is available in/on the box, but I would suggest finding the Bunn customer service number online and calling them to find out. I had to call them with a question and found them easy to reach and very helpful!

I don't know what filters are associated with that number, but I would look on the Trion web page or maybe home depot/lowes and see. I checked out prices and sizes at those locations before purchasing my filters through Amazon. I'm sorry, wish I could help more. Good luck!

Yes on the chlorine, and maybe on the fluoride. They actually say they are not certified for fluoride, but if the tester reads 000 then it has removed the fluoride as well.I have to say this is the best filter we have ever used and when I first bought the pitcher, we lived in a city with really nasty and heavily chlorinated water. Even my dog would get diarrhea when he drank the city water. After filtering with this system it was clear and tasteless! And mine always last way more than 2 weeks!!

Sad to report I am not a fan of Enviro filter, mine cracked and sprayed water on the ceiling ruining the sheetrock in the ceiling above the shower and CS was not helpful. Cannot recommend New Wave Enviro filters. These filters are intended to filter chlorine and they are not a contamination filter. My guy is a plumber and he suggests looking for a sediment filter.

No specific information on the package, but since the filters are white, I would guess bleached.

They are carbon filters. Apparently they are to enhance the flavor on the water. Lately I'm not using any filter and do not notice any difference in flavor.

I'm not sure how often our water is chlorinated or treated with other chemicals, but I have never in several years, had any chemical taste after filtering. Water always tastes fresh and clean.

Yes, the filters are packaged in a plastic wrapper and therefore are uncontaminated.
286246
Yes, these are carbon filters. Most VOCs should also be eliminated by the distill process.

The filters are water filters that sits on the top of the re-usable basket and are supposed to filter out the Chlorine. From the description of the SJX it sounds like it already has a water filtration system built in so the water filters, although they will probably work, would be superfluous.

The description on the page says: "This CLEAR2O pitcher filter features block carbon media and is NSF certified to reduce 53 contaminants, including cysts, asbestos, mercury and lead." I think you'd have to go to their webpage and perhaps ask the question of their staff.

i stopped buying them a while back...i just used without filter and cleaned it out weekly. About a year ago, i bought them on amazon.

The GE filter has a 25 micron level. Also it reduces chlorine taste and odor.

I'm not sure? Wish I could be of more assistance. They do work well tho, once they've been pre-soaked. Seem to filter out nearly ALL of contaminants.

NO. Do not use these. These will NOT PROTECT YOU FROM ORGANIC VAPORS. They are only meant to filter out an odor that would be safe to breathe without the filter. Hence the label "Nuisance Filter". Crazy and confusing. You need a properly designed filter for those dangerous chemicals and a website forum is not the place to get that information. You should contact 3M directly.

These are particulate filters...they would screen out some of the fine particles, but none of the toxic gases. Plus, you will find a social cost associated with wearing (the mask that mounts) these filters to work. I wear my mask with these filters for when I mow/mulch the yard...they do a good job of keeping yard dust out of my lungs.
